[Emc-developers] Interesting email from TI

Describing a new stepper driver kit, 48 volts, 4.5 amps, 256 steps/step, and $25 a motor. Sounds interesting. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed Howdershelt (Author) Genes Web page

Apparently I spoke too soon, but I swear it was working properly yesterday, when I did the update. The original toolchange.ngc file you wrote works fine, what we modified it too doesn't. For some reason it is not reading/using the tool data in the T1 locations in the tool table. The wear offsets

Re: [Emc-developers] Tool Table and Wear offset Table

The normal tool location data is stored in the the T1 numbers, the wear offset data is in the T10001 numbers. Here is copy of a tool table from one of the turning centers T10001 P21 X-0.0004 Y0.0 Z0.0013 A0.0 B0.0 C0.0 U0.0 V0.0 W0.0 D0.0 I0.0 J0.0 Q0.0 ;comment T10002 P22 X0.0 Y0.0 Z0.0 A0.0 B

[Emc-developers] LinuxCNC 2.6.1 is out!

Hi again folks, I just released LinuxCNC 2.6.1. This one fixes a show-stopper bug in stepconf that prevented it from running correctly on Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Precise. If you tried to configure a new machine with stepconf and it didn't work right, try again with 2.6.1. Many thanks to Eric Ag

[Emc-developers] Tool Table and Wear offset Table

Hello Guys, Trying not to push the envelope too far, We have implemented Andy's Fanucy tool remap into our configuration on one of our turning centers, and it is a tremendous improvement in regards to some of the things we have been pushing since the inception of LinuxCNC in our shop. It wi

Hey Andy, Sorry for the delay, my email has been giving me trouble lately, No we do not have separate tool offsets, wear offsets, and tool data, poor wording on my part, the only thing that we use is the standard Tool/Geometry/Fixed Offsets/Data/Numbers and the Wear/Assignable Offsets/Data/Number
